Oh absolutely, Martha's ending is great because it IS on her terms. The Doctor COULD call her up, but a) she's made it clear she doesn't want to travel and b) I just find it generally unlikely that Ten would've ever done that anyway. And that's also why I'm not keen on the fact that under Moffat it seems like everyone and their mom has the Doctor's phone number/can contact him at will whenever they want, it makes Martha less special. But... whatever I guess, within the context of her own era Martha is still unique.
And yet despite that we haven't ever seen the Ponds reaching out to the Doctor? Pond Life implies they have his number, but then it also gave us that weird scene where Amy says "we need you, Raggedy Man" but doesn't actually pick up the damn phone and call him, if she needs him so bad. And in this episode she seems upset that it's been ten months without hearing from him. Well, call him?
And in this episode Amy says she "can't stop waiting, even now", which is REALLY SAD. It could lead somewhere, but unfortunately I'm pretty sure the only reason Amy will ever stop waiting for the Doctor is because her hand will be forced through x/y/z plot machinations that mean she can no longer travel.
